Seeing such a smile from Ye Qinglan, Shen Changan couldn't continue to brag anymore, and said honestly: "Actually, I tried many times, but failed every time. This is not because my skills are not good, it is mainly because I am alone, and they But there are only three or four. Besides, I don’t dare to make too much noise..."
Gu Xiyu bit her lip, her eyes full of smiles.
Shen Changan was looking at her with big watery eyes, he couldn't say anything anymore, and he started to laugh stupidly.
Ye Qinglan reminded without looking back: "We don't have much time. If you have anything to say, say it quickly. If cousin Gu comes later, I won't be able to say anything."
As soon as he heard Gu Xinian's name, Shen Changan felt a headache reflexively. There was probably no man in the world who suffered more than him. When he met such a difficult, powerful, and prejudiced uncle, he scolded him again and again. I couldn't scold him, but I didn't dare to hit him. Just thinking about it makes me full of bitterness!
Gu Xiyu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said softly: "Eldest brother is indeed a bit stubborn, but he really cares about me and obstructs our communication. In his opinion, it is for my own good." Gu Xinian was convinced. If you do something, you will stick to it unswervingly!
Shen Changan couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know what he dislikes about me and why he targets me everywhere!" After thinking about it, he said uncertainly: "Is it because I read too little, so He doesn’t like me?”
Gu Xinian was well-known in the capital for his outstanding poetic talent. He probably didn't appreciate people like himself who didn't like reading and only liked dancing with guns and sticks.
Gu Xiyu thought seriously for a moment: "Maybe there is this reason."
Shen Changan said whimsically: "If I start studying every day now, will it be possible to pass the examination to be a scholar or something like that? Your elder brother will be more pleasing to me?"
"Impossible!" Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan blurted out almost at the same time.
Shen Changan scratched his head: "You two said it's impossible. Is it impossible for me to pass the imperial examination, or is it impossible for him to accept me?"
"It's impossible!" Ye Qinglan couldn't help turning around and told the truth bluntly: "You can't pass the imperial examination. Even if you do, Cousin Gu can't accept you."
Gu Xiyu took it seriously and nodded repeatedly.
Shen Chang'an was said to be disgraced and disgraceful, so he retorted without any confidence: "Hey, you two, please don't look down on people so much! I used to be too lazy to study. If I am willing to work hard, I will definitely not be worse than others..."
"Master Shen, you are sober." Ye Qinglan bluntly exposed him: "You are already twenty-one years old. If you start from the beginning, it will take at least ** years to pass the imperial examination. Do you think cousin Xiyu can wait? Have you been this long?"
Shen Changan was speechless.
"The most important thing now is how to reverse the bad impression that Cousin Gu and Auntie have on you. As long as they nod, the marriage between you and Cousin Xiyu will have a chance of success." Ye Qinglan quickly thought about it: "Not only So, you have to work harder in front of your father. He is much better than you in showing up."
Shen Changan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then he and Gu Xiyu looked at her with trusting eyes: "If there is anything else to do, Cousin Lan, tell me. I will definitely do it."
Ye Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rolled her eyes at him rudely: "That's all I can think of for the moment. I have to think more slowly about what to do."
Shen Changan shamelessly hit the snake and followed the stick: "Then I'll bother Cousin Lan to worry about it." After a pause, he said with a cheeky smile: "I heard that Cousin Lan and Brother Gu are about to get engaged. He will definitely listen to what you say. You have to go in. As long as you persuade him more, he will definitely listen to you."
…Does this count as being relied upon?
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly: "I will definitely try my best to help you, but you must be mentally prepared. Cousin Gu is the most stubborn, and it is not easy to convince him..."
"Cousin Lan really knows me very well." A slightly sarcastic man's voice suddenly sounded.
The three of them were all startled, and then looked over in unison.
The person who came was wearing a moon-white brocade robe. His face was handsome and his expression was leisurely. His lips seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His eyes were unfathomable. Who else could it be but Gu Xinian?
As soon as Shen Changan saw Gu Xinian, his scalp numbed reflexively, he smiled and greeted warmly: "Brother Gu, why are you here suddenly?"
Gu Xinian responded calmly: "Did I come by chance? Did I interrupt your chat?"
Shen Changan coughed and said with a smile: "It's okay, you came just in time, we were talking about you..." As soon as the words came out, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled. Asking the question: "Oh? I wonder what you are talking about me?"
In terms of words, Shen Changan was no match for Gu Xinian. He started to break out in a cold sweat after just two sentences.
Gu Xiyu frowned and suddenly took a step forward: "Brother, Brother Shen just came to see me and say a few words to me. Why are you so aggressive?"
…
Gu Xinian couldn't laugh anymore and glanced at Gu Xiyu unhappily: "Is this how you talk to eldest brother?"
The prestige she had accumulated over the years was still there, but the courage that Gu Xiyu had finally mustered up suddenly disappeared without a trace under Gu Xinian's cold gaze, and she fell silent.
Ye Qinglan couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes at Gu Xinian: "Why are you so fierce? It almost scared cousin Xiyu to tears."
Ye Qinglan opened her mouth, and Gu Xinian's fierce aura immediately subsided. He said calmly: "Why did I hurt her? She was the first to hurt my eldest brother, okay?"
Ye Qinglan snorted softly: "You should be kinder to your guests. How could Cousin Xiyu be so cruel to you? In the final analysis, it's your bad attitude that comes first."
Gu Xinian snorted and wanted to say something, but finally endured it. Finally, he had the opportunity to meet, so he had better not waste it on verbal disputes!
Shen Changan was almost dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him. This is what is called one thing destroying another thing! It turned out that the difficult Gu Xinian had a time to swallow his anger...
Ye Qinglan was also sensitive to Gu Xinian's subtle change, and there was a hint of sweetness in her heart. If it had been in the past, no need to think about it, the two of them would have quarreled again! But now, Gu Xinian is intentionally or unintentionally He suppressed his anger. Even though his face didn't look good, he didn't say anything.
This was an astonishing change for Gu Xinian. This change was probably because he cared more and more about her...
Gu Xinian was also feeling angry because of his frustration. Looking at Shen Changan who looked like he was looking forward to a good show, he became more and more displeased. He gave Shen Changan a cold look: "The new house is listening to Yuxuan, Mr. Shen should go over there." Go join in the fun!" Don't be an eyesore here!
Although Shen Changan was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to agree. He glanced at Gu Xiyu reluctantly and said softly: "Sister Gu, I'll leave first. I'll see you again when I have time."
Gu Xiyu hummed softly.
How dare you flirt with Yu'er in front of him! The anger in Gu Xinian's heart was about to stir again. Ye Qinglan seemed to be aware of his emotional change, and her delicate brows wrinkled slightly.
...Gu Xinian swallowed this breath bitterly.
After Shen Chang'an left, Gu Xinian's expression returned to normal: "Yu'er, listen to big brother and don't interact with him in the future."
Gu Xiyu bit her lip and remained silent.
Gu Xinian said patiently: "He is a warrior, has a rough temper, and loves to dance with guns and sticks. He is not suitable for you at all. Moreover, he is a military general. If there is a war on one side, he will have to go to the border to fight. .You can’t keep waiting for him..."
"Why can't you wait for him?" Gu Xiyu suddenly raised her head, her dark eyes like black jade were as calm as water: "Brother, you keep saying it's for my own good, but you have never really considered my thoughts. His temperament How about it, I know it very well. I like him like this. If he really goes to fight, I am willing to wait for him to come back!"
Gu Xinian was choked and looked at Gu Xiyu, who looked stubborn, speechless for a long time.
He didn't want to see Shen Changan, not only because of Shen Changan's temperament, but also because of the subsequent border war. But he didn't expect that Gu Xiyu didn't even mind this.
Just as Gu Xiyu knew him well, he was also very familiar with Gu Xiyu's temperament. He seemed to have no temper at all, but when he was really stubborn, he was very stubborn and basically no one could persuade him.
From this point of view, the two brothers and sisters are actually equal!
However, Gu Xinian was used to making decisions in everything. But Gu Xiyu showed a rare performance. But even in such a rare time, the effect was very impressive.
Gu Xinian looked complicated, and after a while he asked calmly: "Yu'er, did you just say what you really meant?"
Gu Xiyu nodded without thinking: "Yes, I am speaking from my heart. Brother, I am really not a child anymore. I have grown up and have my own thoughts and opinions. How do you want to believe it? Do I really like him?"
...Gu Xinian was speechless.
"Brother, you said you like Cousin Lan and want to marry her, but I have always disagreed." Gu Xiyu looked straight at Gu Xinian: "But when I know that you really like her, she also really likes her. When I wanted to marry you, I immediately changed my mind. As long as you two are in love, I will happily bless you. Why do you just refuse to change your mind? You think Shen Changan and I are not suitable, so You tried every possible means to hinder our communication. You think I should marry an excellent man in your mind, so you are determined not to agree to my marriage to him. I trust you, respect you, and listen to you in everything. But this is the only thing. I will never listen to you."
Gu Xinian's expression changed, but he still said nothing. But anyone who knew him well could see his struggle and contradiction at this moment.
Obviously, he finally listened to Gu Xiyu's words and began to truly reflect... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest power.)
